Considerable discussion has been
caused by an exceedingly ''lard' case
arising under the Hindoo marriage
law. A Hindoo girl in Bombay was
married by her family as a child 10 a
village lad of her own caste. The lad
grew a peasant, but tho girl becamer

lady, Rukhmibllai, must either submit,

incubus under which we permit ourselves
and the loyal people of Ireland TO lie.
Quotations from the speeches OF the Irish
leaders clinch the argument, but they DIRE
i'll no way essential TO its validity.
1t may well be that at certain moments
the murder of landlords and tenants is
honestly discouraged by the League and
the gentlemen who do its works In the
House of Commons. For at certain mo.
mentS it is desirable not TO run the risk
though it is one which Mr.. Parnell almost
contemptuon>iy diSregards-Of rOusiug the
apathetlc people OfihiS country. The league,
like other organizations, has to moderate
the lndiScreet zeal of its subordinates. at
the present moment, for example, it is not
good policy to alarm the diminished party
tina still adheres to MIR. Gladstone. They
want very much to believe that MIR. Par
nell is the head of q constitutional agita-
ton, that he is quite fit to be the head of a
nation, and that he has no desire whatever
for separation. These tasks must be made
as easy for them as possible, hence murder
is verbally discouraged, and Mr.. Parnell
judiciOuSly drops the inSpiriting language
he is accustomed to address to his br0ther
cOnspiratOrS when dollars are required.
But the real reason for any reduction that
may take place in the number of Outrages
is that the work of intimidation is largely
done. There is no need to shoot people
who obey the League, and over a large
part of Ireland they do obey the League to-
their own loss and ruin with u fidelity
which nothing but the extremity of terror
and despair can explain. The losses in-
ficted on landlords by the League are far
smaller than the losses ii %intlicts upon
tenants, Just az the actual blood, tax it has

a certain number of gentlemen may

economic crisis in Ireland which neither
her own our nor the power of this
country will be fit to cope with unless

Oil on Troubled Waters.

The photographic Office of the Navy
continues to receive daily many letters
from captains of vessels as to the re-
suit of their experience in the use of oil
to reduce waves. Commander Bart
lett says that it is desirable to supply
all vessels with oil for use during
stormy weather ut sea. He will not,
however, begin work on his promised
treatise on the su6 6ject until the eff
cacy of the oil treatment has been
tried and reported upon by officers of
the navy. With this end in view an
effort is being made to induce Rear-Ad-
miral Luce to issue the necessary orders
for such trial to be made by vessels of
the North Atlantic squadron. The
photographic officers believe the Rear
Admiral will comply with their re-
quest. Several letters received recently
at the photographic Office gave en-
couraging accounts concerning the use
of oil. Two vessels were enabled to lay
in comparatively calm water for
twenty-four hours, while tempest
was raging about them, by the use of
only twenty gallons of oil each.

The "chestnut bellp inventor has. an
other device before the patent office
an elastic band connected with the bell,
but fastened to the other side of the
vest. When the bell is struck minia-
ture rat runs across the breast of the
wearer, and stops in full view of the vic
tim. To make 1t more effective the
word "rats" in white letters on black
background, is inscribed upon the rat.
The inventor wanted a patent that
would cover not only the device but the
word "rats" also, his idea being to pre-
vent any infringement upon his choice
expression. After due deliberation the
examiners decided that so necessary a
word as "rats' was not patentable,
The other features of the device were
favorably acted upon, although the law
requires an invention to be "new and
useful" in order to be patentable.

Overtaking the deacon on his way to

"Well, and what's the news Of WASH

"Nothing-0h, yes there is: General
Jackson killed man yesterday"
"Killed manW cried the deacon.
"Yes, he was walking on Pennsyl-

The deacon meditated a few mo-
